About the Role

As the Founding Strategy and Operations Lead, you'll have the exciting opportunity to shape our go-to-market strategy as we grow rapidly. We’re looking for an entrepreneurial thinker and doer. Someone who can dream up strategic experiments and then roll up their sleeves to execute them. If you're passionate about improving the way children learn, you'll fit right in.

In this role, you’ll report directly to the CEO. Along with the opportunity to make an impact, you’ll receive meaningful equity ownership in the company along with a competitive salary.

Responsibilities

• Boost student growth and retention: Make our interactions with current and potential students more effective, transforming them into standard practices that can be replicated across our schools.
• Develop and refine our go-to-market playbook: Find new ways to build our brand among local schools and families, and turn that awareness into increased school signups.
• Drive efficiency: Conduct ad hoc analyses to identify areas where we can improve our financial performance through changes in our product and operations.

Qualifications

• Experience working with children, such as in a volunteer teaching or camp counselor role, is preferred.
• At least 2 years of professional experience in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment. Experience in investment banking (TMT), management consulting, high-growth operations, or startups is a plus.
• A track record of excellence in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment.
• A Bachelor's Degree.

Compensation

We offer a starting salary ranging from $85,000 - $125,000, coupled with meaningful equity (e.g. 0.25 - 0.5%) in a fast-growing company. Additional benefits include:

• Unlimited PTO (minimum of 2 weeks highly encouraged)
• $1000 equipment credit to set up your workspace, along with a top of the line Macbook Pro or equivalent
• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life, long-term disability, and 401k benefits
• Company-provided lunches, and a fully stocked fridge and pantry

Location

This role will require visiting Bay Area schools and frequent team meetings in our Palo Alto and Mountain View offices.

Lando is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. Our team is stronger because of the different backgrounds, abilities, identities, and mindsets each person brings. Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications listed above, but are passionate about making a difference in children's lives and excited to drive our mission forward, we want you to apply!
